Hello Bronco brothers and sisters I wanted to share my good news!

I contacted the guy and he said he had bought the Bronco with the soft top in the box and the guy who sold him the truck said he had this $700 soft top he had never found time to install. As the new owner he felt the Bronco would be way too easy to break into with the top installed. He sent me some photos of the box and opened one end and slid out the parts to show they are there. It has the black vinyl snap top which I understand is easier to keep clean with the tinted windows. Also I have wanted the snap top style anyway since it has that classic boat top look. I hope the deal works out without a hitch.

Man I am excited wish me luck!

The tracking number on UPS says it will be here Wednesday! I can't wait...dying to see it and get it installed. I will send photos asap!

As a matter of fact I can't find any photos of the soft top of this snap style in vinyl with tinted windows anywhere on the web.

Tracking number says it is in my city! I called to ask if I could pick it up at the UPS, they said it had to be attempted by the driver before I could.

The guy who sold it to me said he has had many offers since we made the deal and he is regretting he let it go so cheap. Man I am glad I moved on it the hour I saw it. I did send him money for a pig in a poke so I am still nervous until I get it in my grubby little hands.

I guess he really didn't realize what he had his hands on! Oh well, like the old saying; one man's garbage... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

IT'S HERE!!!!! It IS freaking brand new, it has not ever been unfolded, still has the paper protecting the windows. I am as happy as a kid at Christmas!

Now I need to find a good place to store my hard top.

 

[MDDYATV]

Dude you are so lucky. I want one.

You must install it, or moths will eat away the vinyl (j/k). Looking forward to pics of when you do get to put the new softtop on the Bronco. You might never want to use the hardtop again like me, JSM84

I am really looking forward to strapping that thing on my Bronco. I went to Pull-A-Part (junkyard) and found a donor hard top to cut the rim off of to use for the snaps ($50). I want to build it on an original hard top frame that I can bolt on like my hard top and leave it erect during the winter. Also I am going to try and use the factory interior trim from the donor top so it has a nice finished look on the inside.



Thanks so much guys for the well wishing!

OH its the kayliner top. Yeah I had one of those. I thought it was the new fast track top.

I think the best thing you could do is ship it to me, let me test fit it on MY Bronco and if there is any flaws I'll inform you of them and I'll keep it on MY truck for, oh I don't know, ever? HAHA I wish I had one SOOOO BAD!!! My son LOVES riding in his booster seat with the top off, that way he can look at all the little girls.... Enjoy you lucky SOB!!!!

I got my donor top today at Pick-A-Part junkyard for $50. Started cutting it down. I got the inside side trip pieces and all rubber and clips for the price. Enjoy the shots!

I have been working ******* my soft top with a fiberglass hard top ring for using the interior trim. Here are more photos of the progress.

Looking real nice I can not wait to see the pics of it on the truck. Can not believe that you have not at least set it there to see
